Regarding your questions: they are usually posed as a way to sidetrack the conversation.
I think you tend to ask questions when you either a) don't agree with the premise, or b) can't defend your own position. Sometimes it's c) you don't understand something. But I don't think this is usually the case.
You ask questions as a way to turn the conversation into something about you or about something you'd rather talk about.
It's a bit distracting, so forgive me if I respond to your questions in ways that either nip something in the bud or otherwise keep the topic on course.
In case you haven't noticed, this isn't a thread about neoliberalism and what it means to the world.
If you don't know what neoliberalism is, then look it up. If you disagree with anyone's position about neoliberalism, then challenge it.
Be forthright about it for fuck's sake. But I'm not sure that will even matter, considering roachboy's not sure you even read his posts.
